We have the named database connections, and the named web services, what we don't have is the ability to save named http authentification for use in readers accessing an online file, or in the HTTPCaller.

This can be achieved by creating a custom HTTP Authentication Web Connection.

 

1) From FME Options go to Web Connections. Click on the plus sign (+) and select HTTP Authentication from the menu. Name the connection something meaningful, then enter the username and password that is used to log into the desired URL. Click OK to save the connection.

CreateHttp 

2) Add the specific format reader and for Dataset click the drop-down and select Select File from Web > Specify URL. Optionally, you can paste in the full URL without this step.

SpecifyParameters 

3) Open the reader parameters. A Use Network Authentication option is now available. Enable it, then select Web Connection as the Authentication Method. Finally select the newly created HTTP Authentication web connection. Click OK twice to finish adding the reader with authenticated data.
